Tochigi 栃木県

Origin

Chosen through a 1962 public contest and established on December 1 of that year. The kanji 栃 (tochi), the first character of Tochigi, is rendered abstractly to express dynamism, while its tree radical is drawn in an ancient script form of 木 (ki, 'tree') to express energetic upward drive.

Adopted
